Suggested Fly-Drive Itineraries

The stretch of New South Wales to the south of Sydney and towards the Victoria border is dominated by a stunning coastline of excellent beaches and relaxed seaside towns. This is a great area for a self-drive, allowing time to take in penguins, seals, dolphins and whales, deserted beaches and fabulous hiking trails in national parks - a very different feel to nearby Sydney.

Inland, the Hume Highway may transport you quickly between Australia’s two largest cities, but get off the main road to explore some of the regions atmospheric old towns, or head to the hills and take in the Snowy Mountains & Mount Kosciuszko, Australia's highest peak and a great area for seasonal skiing or hiking.
